Why Visit Agadir?
Agadir combines an easygoing Atlantic atmosphere with the culture and landscapes of southern Morocco. Rebuilt as a modern coastal city after the 1960 earthquake, it is best known for its long crescent beach, palm-lined promenade and year-round outdoor lifestyle. Yet Agadir offers much more than a seaside holiday. Visitors can look across the bay from Agadir Oufella, explore the vast Souk El Had, discover Amazigh art and traditions, and wander through the handcrafted architecture of Medina Polizzi. The city is also an excellent base for surfing in Taghazout, walking through Paradise Valley, birdwatching in Souss-Massa National Park and exploring the Anti-Atlas. With its international airport and comfortable climate, Agadir works equally well as a relaxing stop or the starting point for a deeper private journey through southern Morocco.

Souk El Had
One of Morocco's largest urban markets, Souk El Had brings together produce, spices, argan products, clothing, household goods and artisan crafts within its walled complex.
Agadir Beach
Agadir's wide sheltered beach stretches along a sweeping Atlantic bay. The sand, promenade and gentle coastal rhythm are central to the city's relaxed character.
Agadir Marina
The marina offers waterfront walks, cafés, restaurants and views of sailing boats framed by white architecture and the nearby Oufella hill.
Medina Polizzi
This carefully handcrafted medina recreates regional architectural traditions through ochre walls, arcades, courtyards, mosaic decoration and workshops set among gardens.
